Abstract

Moringa oleifera plant has nutritional contents which are diseases preventing and it has been used from ancient age in the treatment, prevention of disease or infection. The essential vitamins and minerals are used to prevent and cure the diseases and to save the populations from microbial infection and that may be a most potent antimicrobial medicine from natural source. So it is important to study the phytoconstituents of different part of the plant. The plant have been used for various diseases in the folk medicine and the secondary metabolites is the most important bioactive constituents which include alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins, phytosterols and terpenoids are the most popular phytomedicine works instead of antibiotics and that have lesser side effects or adverse effects or other hypersensitive reactions or allergic reactions. So, there have possibility of good antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Now there have many studies available on leaves extract but there has no sufficient study on flower. So the comparable study of the leaves and flower constituents is beneficial for future. In the sense the plant has a rich polyphonolic compounds so there may have most useful antioxidant activity.
